The happy hour here is the most legit Spanish ¡Hora de tapeo! $6 glasses of wine and 1/2 priced Sangria, and with every round you'll receive a tapa on the house aka a montadito.
M TFebruary 11, 2014Delicious in every way. MUST GET the following: leche Frita (dessert), patatas bravas, and croquetas- the squid ink and lamb skewers are good & charcuterie plate (not worth $16, is it ever?).
Best tapas place in NYC - hands down. The new "hora de tapeo" will make you feel as if you were in Spain. Absolutely must get the patatas bravas. Highly recommend!!
amy pelletierAugust 30, 2016Tia Pol is my favorite spot in Chelsea, pull up a seat at the bar and have a crisp cava and some tapas. My faves are the skirt steak, shishito peppers, patatas bravas and the white artichoke salad. ❤️
Aryan JAugust 19, 2016Grab a bottle of wine, order your favorite tapas, drink some wine then order more food. Tia Pol has good wine, good food, and good vibes.
Ranu RajkarnikarFebruary 11, 2017This is an amazing tapas spot. Chicken liver mousse is the best I've ever had. Also classics like Serrano ham, padron peppers and tortilla espanola. Flan was perfect. Their specials are great too!
Gillian BenAryFebruary 23, 2016fantastic tapas (but not typical tapas – local, market ingredients, very pure). Great place to hang out and relax. Its tiny, though, so seats can be hard to come by. Cool wine list. In far west Manhat
Village VoiceAugust 15, 2014Start off with a bowl of fried chickpeas and then move on to other Spanish small plates like the chorizo in sherry, the squid served with ink and rice, and the lamb skewers cooked in Moorish spices. Read more
Felipe P.June 12, 2016Literally everything! Start with a Sangria and chorizo along with Plato de quesos. Then you can go to Jamon Serrano, Patatas as Bravas and other delicious tapas options! Salute! 😉
Richard RevillaApril 18, 2016Very very good Tapas, but the chickpeas well those are special, deviled eggs and churros are delicious. Tight quarters and intimate.
Veronica UribeFebruary 11, 2017Txipirones, patatas bravas and boquerones are a MUST. If you feel like drinking, sangria is also great (1 pitcher for 5-6 glasses)
Josephine SonMay 8, 2013Awesome little tapas joint in Chelsea. Tiny spot so be prepared to wait, but it's worth it. Get the croquettes, blistered peppers, garlic shrimp. But my fav was the anchovies with olives!- Alexandra ParedesDecember 28, 2016Great place for tapas, good selection of wines and cavas. The patatas bravas were really delicious and the pimientos too.
Sebastien POctober 7, 2016Amazing tapas, great service, absolutely loved it. One constructive criticism: I wish their red wine was a little bit cooler. It's too warm right now.- Hartje UtrechtMarch 21, 2015It seems like there aren't many tapas restaurants in New York. This cosy one is very nice though. Great staff, loved the sangria and the Spanish cheese platter.
Trae FJanuary 19, 2015Everything is delicious. Chicken liver mousse, deviled eggs, sardines, and the gambones were excellent. A cozy place for passing the afternoon away drinking wine.
BLOUIN ARTINFOOctober 2, 2012Tia Pol serves up traditional spanish tapas and an all-spanish wine list in a simple, narrow restaurant where the dark wood tabletops will be crowded with a variety of small dishes that pack a punch. Read more
J.R. ReedMarch 30, 2018Pork sandwich, patatas bravas, croquetas, and artichoke salad are must haves - squid ink rice too. Slightly on pricey side but to be expected with tapas
Chris EvansMay 31, 2015Wonderful spot with an amazing selection of tapas. Wait times can be a bit long but definitely worth it. Potatoes were great, and don't miss shrimp.
Tarah FeinbergMay 3, 2013Excellent buttifara sandwich: pork sausage, caramelized onions and a soft cow's cheese.
Your inclination may be to avoid the crowd in Tapas crazed Chelsea, but the food is worth the inconvenience of close quarters. Suckling pig, tripe soup, and croquettes are standouts.
CarolineJune 15, 2015All the food was amazing (we got the clams, anchovies, and the suckling pig special). The service is also amazing.
Emma BarnesMay 12, 2019We had a great mixture of vegetarian and meat tapas and loved them all. Would highly recommend the spinach coquettes and lamb skewers.
Elizabeth BursteinMarch 26, 2017Good selection of Spanish cheeses and wine. Avoid sitting in the middle right by kitchen window, seating is not the most comfortable (backless stools). I wasn't a huge fan of this place overall
The Corcoran GroupAugust 1, 2013This tiny tapas joint serves up some of the best red sangria and patatas braves we've had - trust us!
Elger van der WelFebruary 27, 2015Really really good tapas! The restaurant doesn't have lot's of tables, so if you don't have a reservation you probably need to wait for a tables.
Matthew SpectorNovember 3, 2015Fried chickpeas, cava, vermouth selection and a wonderful artichoke and white asparagus salad. A High Line hideaway.
@JaumePrimeroNovember 12, 2011I love this quaint tapas bar, and the menu is authentic. The brandada is delicious, the clams are also excellent. Always crowded and they don't take reservations.
Anna FrenkelSeptember 12, 2012Start with a bottle of wine & a cheese plate, and then split patatas bravas, pimientros, croquetas, gambas al ajillo, & huevos rellenos ... so good!
Johnnie SkywalkingDecember 14, 2014The atmosphere is great but the tapas are super. Croquette is so rich. Lamb skewer also great. Pig ear was...if you like.- kcMarch 6, 2017Food is great, recommend wine was 👌🏻, but the fried custard leche frita desert was delllllicious. Don't miss it!!!
Katie RyanJuly 2, 2013Super yummy and the closest tapas to Spain I've had on the city. Get the plates bravas, flan w/cherries and sangria.
Without a doubt, the best tapas restaurant in New York, with a great all-Spanish wine menu to boot.
BravoNovember 22, 2010Great Iberian wine selection, a kickin' tapas menu and excellent service make this one of my favorite "after work" spots. -Jacqueline Lombard, Top Chef- Carlos GuillénSeptember 8, 2019Churros are good, patas bravas, garbanzos fritos, chorizo, lamb skewers, everything good!
Gansevoort Hotel GroupJanuary 19, 2011Get the squid in ink with rice, the patatas bravas, chorizo al jerez, and, of course, the daily croquettes. One of the best tapas restaurants in NYC hands down.
Teresa WellsMarch 23, 2012Go early or be prepared for cramped spaces and long lines. Great food, the plates are small but pace yourself, easy to fill up quickly.
Great nook in west chelsea, txipirones en su tinta and blistered shishito peppers are delicious.
Brett ChickeyJune 8, 2013Get the blistered peppers and the aged ham. Really, you can't go wrong on this menu. Delicious!
NikhilMarch 17, 2012Good food. FYI the bar is not open seating so youll wait by the wall next to the coats - Think the closet in the lion witch and the wardrobe.
Get a Estrella Galicia and some chorizo al Jerez. Forget about the tortilla - the one I make is way better - and love the embutidos ibericos.
Silvana Narvaez AcostaFebruary 16, 2019Love it !! Everything was so good and the waiter was so nice .. I’ll be coming back!!
Gilt CityDecember 8, 2010A deliciously simple menu boasts such classic bites as deviled eggs with smoked paprika and patatas bravas with spicy aioli. You must try both.
Serious EatsApril 2, 2013Make a meal of small plates at this tapas bar serving authentic Spanish dishes in Chelsea.
DinaApril 24, 2014A nice stop for a glass of wine in the late afternoon. The food is ok, nothing special but with wine can get a few dishes and enjoy it.
Aisea LaungaueJune 25, 2012The croquettes, the patatas bravas, the scallops and some Spanish red to wash it down. Amazing.
